hikaricloud Golden Master Messages 6,220 Location USA Jan 20, 2009 #34 G31 is an old chipset. P45 is better. Better quality, more stable, etc. Also, if you ever got into overclocking, you'd be in a much better position for it.

OP OP N Nathan138 Baseband Member Messages 30 Jan 20, 2009 #35 ok, so, i'm trying to decide between a CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V and OCZ OCZ700MXSP 700W ATX12V V2.2 they are the same price too

Soo, if I have two SATA drives, do I need to have raid to use them at the same time, or am I not understanding raid? Click to expand... Its not worth it for similar performance

Because the 55nm one says minimum 500w here. Newegg.com - EVGA 896-P3-1255-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards And if you weren't getting that one, I would get it, since it's loads better with the 216 steam processors and smaller die size.
